In this week’s show, Kris talks to Alex Preston, lead developer/creator/designer of the incredible Hyper Light Drifter, about wearing many hats, becoming a game developer, mortality, and need to fight big-money concrete lobbyists. Plus, Paul takes a look at the Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst beta, and makes a special holiday wish for a little more magic — kinda.

Let Kris and Paul drip excitedly into your ears about 2016’s Doom (we thought we wouldn’t like it — we were incorrect!) and the forthcoming No Man’s Sky, as well as a discussion of rumors and feelings of player entitlement. It’s a lot to chew on in this week’s episode!
